Greetings Bible Study class!

After a week break for the celebration of Trinity's 125th anniversary, we will be back together this Sunday continuing our study of the New Testament. It will be great to be back together again.

The last time we were together we had the opportunity to look at the 6 different gospel accounts of the Feeding of the Multitude (two different versions in Matthew and Mark as well as one each in Luke and John). We had a fun activity that stretched our thinking on the differences found in each of the gospels. We broke into four small groups and were given envelopes with line by line accounts of the Feeding of the Multitude. Each group was to reconstruct the story and try to determine which gospel account they had been given. It was a lively room! All the groups did well and most groups found surprises in terms of which account they were studying. As a large group, we then compared and contrasted the accounts with some great insights.

This week we will continue our study of the Feeding of the Multitude. We will again be dividing into small groups to discuss our four questions:
1. What does the story tell me about me?
2. What does the story tell me about God?
3. What does the story tell me about my relationship with God?
4. What will I do?

The particular passages to read this week are:
Matthew 14:13-21
Mark 6:31-44
Luke 9:10-17
John 6:5-15

See you Sunday!

Pastor Dan and Laura
